More than 130 political appointees working in the Executive Office of the President did not have permanent security clearances as of November 2017, NBC News reported Wednesday, citing information from internal White House documents the network obtained.

Those without permanent security clearances included Ivanka Trump, the president's daughter and senior advisor, and Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law and senior advisor.

How do they even work? Do say it's backlog on SC issuance, because we know that shit was over with before 2002. Year 2000 probably had a higher than normal wait to complete, especially on SCI investigations. Executive Office can be given their own security officer to clear them, direct from Secret Service.

Jared and Ivanka I understand, the US will never clear jews for any security clearance...Interim clearance CANNOT be renewed usually past one year. I don't think Jared and Ivanka have any REAL cleared work at the White House, and both are being put up for mostly worthless show. It's why you see them in public, only meeting people..what a contribution.

In terms of total compensation, federal workers on average make TWICE what the average private sector worker makes. Salary alone is 40% higher.

According to dhimmicrats, the workers have superlative ability and are worth the cost.

Assuming that's true, it's then only rational, logical and reasonable to assume as well that the average federal worker is worth 2 private sector workers. It then follows quite straightforwardly that a federal workforce reduction of 50% would not harm efficiency and should be implemented IMMEDIATELY.

An internal audit found a large Pentagon agency failed to properly keep track of more than $800 million in construction projects, Politico reported on Monday.

The audit, issued by Ernst & Young and obtained by Politico, identified cases where the Defense Logistics Agency had deficiencies in the documentation for millions of dollars in property and equipment.

"Across the board, its financial management is so weak that its leaders and oversight bodies have no reliable way to track the huge sums it's responsible for, the firm warned in its initial audit of the massive Pentagon purchasing agent," Politico said.

It follows the Department of Defense announcing in December it planned to start the first agency-wide financial audit in the Pentagon's history.

The services provided by a Department of Justice office established to help low-income people obtain legal representation are reportedly being quietly rolled back.

Sources close to the situation told The New York Times that the Office for Access to Justice (ATJ), established under former President Barack Obama, has gone "dark" after seeing cuts to its already small staff size, though its website does remain live.

The office, which according to the website aims to "improve the justice delivery systems that serve people who are unable to afford lawyers," was established under former Attorney General Eric Holder in 2010. He called the disparities in legal services available to the rich and poor a "crisis," and he made the office a priority during his tenure.

For years, politicians have talked about "compassionate" immigration reform, but every one of their proposals showed ZERO compassion for American workers, the victims of illegal immigration crime, and for the safety and security of our nation.

It's time for RESPONSIBLE immigration reform that actually puts the interests of American citizens first.

Before I bring a proposal to the table, I want to have the full force of the American people united behind a plan that we want. I want to hear your immigration demands, F169ers

A confederation of regions. Include Canada and Mexico. The only federal entities would be Defense and Monetary. People could relocate to the region that best suits them. The Western region excluding the pacific coast would covet people of European and East Asian lineage.

It's estimated that MS-13 has as many as 10,000 members in at least 40 states. In the immigration framework President Trump sent to Congress last month, the White House calls for a bill that will give law enforcement the tools it needs to combat this brutal gang and stop its proliferation into American communities.
